did you take any weight out of the truck?

locking the converter at wot will make it go away very fast unless its built for it.

what size slicks are you running?

IMO you don't make enough power to lock it up at WOT....

well you should run it with it unlocked and locked to see if it matters, but it will destroy the clutches in the converter if its not built to do it.

LaBB i personally think youre making enough power to lock it, its just where youre locking it at will make a difference!!! do you know what mph its locking at, i know on my setup i lock it at 91 its a true tenth off my time. i tried locking at 84 mph and 91 mph and 91 being the best


and what v8 stated is true is your torque converter built for locking?
